How I Became An Ultra Runner with Asthma

In this episode, I share my journey from a kid with asthma to becoming an ultra-endurance runner. It all started with a love for soccer and grew as I took on new challenges, like biking, climbing 14,000-foot mountains, and running on trails. I talk about big moments—like finishing marathons and a tough 100K race. Along the way, I learned a lot about pushing limits, training smart, and overcoming fears, even when health issues made it hard. I also share how family and friends helped me stay focused and reach my goals. Listeners will learn about my journey, plus tips on healthy living.
